It was Shen Qingyao's first time seriously going out for shopping. The ancient streets were quite different, so she looked around, touched here and there, feeling everything was fresh.

Shen Qingli didn't stop Shen Qingyao, rare to see her sister so happy. She just followed behind, and whenever Shen Qingyao repeatedly touched or asked about something, she immediately bought it and handed it to the guard who came with them. In no time, the two sisters have bought a lot of things, and the guard, who originally looked handsome with a long sword, now carried bags of various sizes, looking a bit comical.

Shen Qingyao couldn't help but laugh at the sight, and she restrained herself a bit. She stopped buying things that made her look like a country bumpkin.

Maybe because she was too excited, Shen Qingyao's small face was flushed, and there were beads of sweat on her forehead.

Shen Qingli noticed this and looked at the sun. She realized that it was too hot, so she went over to pull Shen Qingyao, took out a handkerchief to wipe off the sweat on Shen Qingyao's forehead, tapped Shen Qingyao's nose, and said, "Look at you, getting sunburned! Your cold just got better, are you trying to get sunstroke now!"

"I won't..." Shen Qingyao instinctively wanted to refute but lost confidence halfway. With her body's condition, she really couldn't refute it.

"Let's go, the store in front is the jade shop Mother gave me. Want to take a look?" Shen Qingli turned her head to ask Shen Qingyao.

In fact, the main purpose of this outing was for this. Shen Qingli would marry the Fifth Prince in the next half year, and in order to train her in managing the household, Mother Shen specially gave her several shops to learn to manage. Today was the first time she came out to inspect.

But Shen Qingli was careful when talking about this, afraid of unintentionally hurting Shen Qingyao. It wasn't that Mother Shen didn't give Shen Qingyao shops; it was just that considering her health, Mother Shen didn't want her to overexert herself, so Mother Shen found a reliable person to help her run the business. Shen Qingli was afraid that she might feel self-pity due to her own physical condition.

Shen Qingyao didn't think so deeply. As a carefree person, she would be happy as long as there were food and fun. She naturally had no objection to Shen Qingli's suggestion. It was said that the ancient jade carving craftsmanship was excellent, and she had always liked such things. Now, being able to go to the jade shop herself to take a look was also interesting! So, she happily nodded immediately.

The shopkeeper was a plump middle-aged man. When he saw the two sisters, he greeted them with a smile, "Miss, you're here! Is this the Third Miss? Please, please..."

As he walked, he continued to talk enthusiastically, "We've been looking forward to Miss's arrival for quite some time! The jade business was not doing well a few years ago. Thanks to the designs that Miss sent, we could establish a stable position in the capital. I heard that from now on, Miss will manage this shop, and the staff is overjoyed!"

Shen Qingyao looked at her calm and confident Elder Sister with admiration. She was thinking that the business ability of the female lead was truly remarkable! It was like having a cheat!

The plump shopkeeper continued, "A batch of excellent stones arrived a few days ago, and we were about to deliver them to the mansion. Since the two Young Ladies are here, you can pick some. I'll have someone make jewelry for the two Young Ladies!"

Shen Qingli, who has been quietly listening, slightly paused and then said, "I don't need it. Yaoyao, go take a look. Maybe you'll find something you like?"

The shopkeeper, who has been working for the Shen family for many years, naturally knew the Shen family's favoritism for Shen Qingyao, and he had no objections. He smiled and invited the two sisters to the inner hall.
